Abstract: (869 Views)
Background and aims: Nowadays, with the introduction of electronic industry in human life, the discussion of electronic waste has become one of the most important concerns of urban management. These wastes have a high environmental risk. Therefore, controlling the risks of electronic waste today is one of the requirements of urban management. Risk assessment can help the city management in which area to invest more. The purpose of this research is to develop a model for environmental assessment of risks caused by electronic waste.
Methods: In this research, 3D-Melborn method was used for the basic model and DEMATEL was used for risk modeling. In this research, the opinion of experts was obtained in fuzzy form and its calculations were done based on fuzzy.
Results: The results showed that in the risk assessment, three parameters of probability, intensity and contact were determined as the main evaluation parameters, and reversibility and neutralization were determined as corrective parameters.
Conclusions: The results showed that the most important environmental risk is soil pollution caused by heavy metals in electronic waste.
